Man, from a useless talent (State of Mind), they changed it pretty much into a must-have. Considering the boost to Divine Hymn and then this one on top of it ... the boost to healing output of this spell is pretty insane, if you'd ask me - and then I am even considering only a single application.

Couldn't they just have changed raid design away from big, predictable hits?
I'm glad that Holy Priest will be viable once again, but this is just a change in order to make it to the next expansion.

Hey, I get to quote myself. Always a good time:

In essence, no. Once Blizzard sets down a design path, they run with it until it collapses [end of expansion]. In this particular case, the idea of the mid-duration, raid-wide survival CD. Someone on the dev team got onto that track & tossed in some of Doc Brown's "special logs"... too bad the flux capacitor is out of order on the DeLorian.
